Menorrhagia (Heavy & Prolonged menstrual bleeding)
Patient Details:
Female, 43 years old
Problem Faced:
She complained of heavy menstrual bleeding for the past 6 cycles. During those periods she was required to change 13/14 extra-large sanitary napkins. She was treated with conventional medication but could not resolve her problem. The insertion of Mirena - intrauterine device (IUD) also did not help her. Ultimately, her doctor suggested a hysterectomy which she did not want to do. So she opted for an acupuncture treatment.
Treatment Adopted:
A 15-session course of acupuncture on alternate days along with ear acupuncture was given. After the 2nd session, her bleeding was reduced and subsequently, it came to spotting and then it was stopped. A 15-session course was repeated twice.
Result:
It was observed that after cessation of the first cycle (1st month) after 2nd treatment session, she did not get a period in the next month (2nd month). But it was regularized from 3rd month onward with a normal course of bleeding.
